You never know what can happen - someone may just know or remember - but I'd not hold up much hope of getting help.  

The release is over 2 years old and the code that shows the bug (getting a .toString() of an object is a bug) was completely rewritten in V3.  I cannot speak for the other developers but I don't even have that source on my desktop anymore.

Is there anything logged?  I'd look at turning the logs up to debug, or even trace, but I cannot even advise you what classes to log.

That won't work, it’s a V3 change (and it's irrelevant)
